Action Comics #1 Sells for $1,000,000

A copy of Superman’s first appearance has sold for…

ONE MILLION DOLLARS!!!

The rare comic was sold by an anonymous party to an anonymous buyer (Shaq? Apparently not, as the sucker buyer is purported to be a “well known individual” here in New York whose impressive collection already includes a copy of the classic issue, albeit at a lesser condition grade) and conducted through auction site ComicConnect.com.

The ludicrous sale price is more than double any previously reported tendered for a copy, “justified” by the book’s 8.0 CGC grading.
